ID: JCA12459
Code:
Thoroughbred
Meet Title:
Auckland RC - 28 December 2010
Meet Chair:
RSeabrook
Meet Committee Member 1:
GTankard
Race Date:
2010/12/28
Race Number:
R8
Decision:
Accordingly the protest is dismissed and the judges placings shall stand.
Facts:
Following race 8 a protest was lodged pursuant to rule 642(1). The informant, Mr C Parish, rider of the 2nd horse NOBLE WARRIOR, alleged that WORTHING placed 1st by the judge interferred with his chances in the final straight.
The Judges placings are as follows:
7 WORTHING 1st
13 NOBLE WARRIOR 2nd
11 FASHION ROCKS 3rd
5 ADALINE 4th
6 CAPACIA 5th
The margin between 1st and 2nd was 3/4 length.
Submissions for Decision:
Mr Parish demonstrated the video films and pointed out to the hearing his mount NOBLE WARRIOR receiving 2 bumps early in the home straight. He said these were of no real concern but at the 150 metres WORTHING, ridden by Mr A Calder, started to move out into his line of running. Mr Parish stated he had to pull his mount out to gain a better run and regain momentum. He believed the interference cost him 1 length and the winning of the race.
Mr Shaw, trainer of NOBLE WARRIOR said his horse was moved out approximately 10 horse widths in the run up the straight. He said Mr Parish did have to stop riding and in the last 30 metres NOBLE WARRIOR was taking ground off WORTHING.
Mr Calder said he was always 1 1/2 to 2 lengths clear of NOBLE WARRIOR in the run up the straight. He said there was no contact between the 2 horses and Mr Parish only had to stop riding for 1 stride. He was emphatic that he was never going to get beaten.
Mr Alton said WORTHING was always holding NOBLE WARRIOR in the run to the line. He said Mr Parish had every chance in the last 100 metres and had always kept riding forward.
Mr George when asked for his appraisal of the protest conceded that WORTHING had shifted out dictating the line of NOBLE WARRIOR. He said this had impeded NOBLE WARRIOR to some degree but given the margin of 3/4 length and the manner in which both horses went to the line he submitted the protest should be dismissed.
Reasons for Decision:
While the committee concedes there was outward movement from WORTHING in the run up the straight it was evident Mr Parish did not have to check at any stage although he had his line dictated. The video films clearly showed WORTHING was always holding his own in the last 150 metres. The committee is satisfied this was a case of NOBLE WARRIOR being inconvenienced and impeded rather than being checked. Taking those facts into account and in particular the 3/4 length margin at the post we are not satisfied that NOBLE WARRIOR would have beaten WORTHING if interference had not occurred.
